User-agent:

KMail/1.12.2 (Linux/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop; KDE/4.3.1; i686; ; )

Some glitches in release 2.6 of GNU patch made a new release 2.6.1 necessary,
available from:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch/
The previous release was on 13 November. NEWS since then:
* Support for diff3(1) style merges which show the old, original, and new
lines of a conflict has been added (--merge=diff3). The default still is
the merge(1) format (--merge or --merge=merge).
* Bug and portability fixes.
The source code repository, a address@hidden mailing list archive, and the
project's bug tracker are available at:
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/patch
Please email bugs or suggestions to <address@hidden>. Check the bug
tracker for a list of known issues.
Thanks,
Andreas
